The longest words!

1. Some claim that the longest English word is:
 "Anti-disestablishmentarianism."
2.The longest word in any of the major English language dictionaries is pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis", a word that refers to a lung disease contracted from the inhalation of very fine silica particles, specifically from a volcano; medically, it is the same as silicosis
3.The longest Welsh word is: "Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch" (lan-vire-pool-guin-gith-go-ger-u-queern-drob-ooth-clandus-ilio-gogo-goch) is a Welsh word which translates roughly as "St Mary's Church in the Hollow of the White Hazel near a Rapid Whirlpool and the Church of St. Tysilio near the Red Cave.
4. The longest Bengali words are:" অঘটনঘটনপটিয়সী, কিংকর্তব্যবিমূঢ়, নিশীথবনভ্রমণবিলাসিনী"

5.The Guinness World Record for the longest word used in any language in the world literature is a Sanskrit compound word composed of 195 Sanskrit characters. This transliterates into more than 400 letters in the roman alphabets used by the English language

English language won't be able to catch up with German language in this regards, although English is a germanic language.
